FAQs
How much do recruitment agencies charge?
Permanent hires are a percentage of salary; temp and contract is an hourly margin — quoted up front, candidates never charged.
Are recruitment agencies worth it?
For specialist, senior or urgent roles, yes — we cut time-to-hire with a vetted shortlist in 7 days or you don't pay a cent, and back every placement with a 90-day guarantee (leaves or underperforms, we re-place free). No placement, no fee, so there's no cost for an unfilled role.
How to address a cover letter to a recruitment agency?
Address it to the named consultant if you have one, otherwise use a polite general greeting. Lead with the role or sector you're targeting, your key skills, and your availability — keep it concise.
Do you need a labour hire licence to recruit permanent staff in Queensland?
Permanent placement is exempt from labour hire licensing — we lead with RCSA membership and structured candidate vetting. Temp and contract placements in QLD are supplied under our QLD labour hire licence.
